Split sphinx call logic from docs Makefile
Subsystems (4)
v3 cover Split sphinx call logic from docs Makefile
Hi Jon,
Sorry for resending this one. Two e-mails ended being encoded using base64 (*). The content of this series is identical. The only difference is that all patches including 05 and 15 are now in plain text (using 8bit encoding).
This series does a major cleanup at docs Makefile by moving the actual doc build logic to a helper script (scripts/sphinx-build-wrapper).
Such script was written in a way that it can be called either directly or via a makefile. When running via makefile, it will use GNU jobserver to ensure that, when sphinx-build is called, the number of jobs will match at most what it is specified by the "-j" parameter.
The first 3 patches do a cleanup at scripts/jobserver-exec and moves the actual code to a library. Such library is used by both the jobserver-exec command line and by sphinx-build-wrappper.
The change also gets rid of parallel-wrapper.sh, whose functions are now part of the wrapper code.
I added two patches at the end adding an extra target: "mandocs". The patches came from a series I sent in separate with 2 patches.
---
(*) I just converted by internal mailbomb script to Python, but EmailMessage is really tricky - I spent most of my time scratching my head to get it right - It has a confusing set of "policy" rules and two functions to generate messages. It turns that just using a good policy is not enough: one needs to use as_bytes() to avoid base64 encoding.
---
v3:
- rebased on the top of docs-next;
- added two patches to build man files that were on a separate patch series.
v2:
- there's no generic exception handler anymore;
- it moves sphinx-pre-install to tools/docs;
- the logic which ensures a minimal Python version got moved to a library, which is now used by both pre-install and wrapper;
- The first wrapper (05/13) doesn't contain comments (except for shebang and SPDX). The goal is to help showing the size increase when moving from Makefile to Python. Some file increase is unavoidable, as Makefile is more compact: no includes, multple statements per line, no argparse, etc;
- The second patch adds docstrings and comments. It has almost the same size of the code itself;
- I moved the venv logic to a third wrapper patch;
- I fixed an issue at the paraller build logic;
- There are no generic except blocks anymore.

PATCH RESEND v3 1/15 scripts/jobserver-exec: move the code to a class
Convert the code inside jobserver-exec to a class and properly document it.
Using a class allows reusing the jobserver logic on other scripts.
While the main code remains unchanged, being compatible with Python 2.6 and 3.0+, its coding style now follows a more modern standard, having tabs replaced by a 4-spaces indent, passing autopep8, black and pylint.
The code now allows allows using a pythonic way to enter/exit a python code, e.g. it now supports:
with JobserverExec() as jobserver: jobserver.run(sys.argv[1:])
With the new code, the __exit__() function should ensure that the jobserver slot will be closed at the end, even if something bad happens somewhere.

PATCH RESEND v3 6/15 tools/docs: sphinx-build-wrapper: add a wrapper for sphinx-build
In reply to Mauro Carvalho ChehabThere are too much magic inside docs Makefile to properly run sphinx-build. Create an ancillary script that contains all kernel-related sphinx-build call logic currently at Makefile.
Such script is designed to work both as an standalone command and as part of a Makefile. As such, it properly handles POSIX jobserver used by GNU make.
On a side note, there was a line number increase due to the conversion:
$ git show|diffstat -p1 Documentation/Makefile | 129 +++------------- tools/docs/sphinx-build-wrapper | 288 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 316 insertions(+), 101 deletions(-)
This is because some things are more verbosed on Python and because it requires reading env vars from Makefile. Besides it, this script has some extra features that don't exist at the Makefile:
- It can be called directly from command line;
- It properly return PDF build errors.
When running the script alone, it will only take handle sphinx-build targets. On other words, it won't runn make rustdoc after building htmlfiles, nor it will run the extra check scripts.

PATCH RESEND v3 7/15 tools/docs: sphinx-build-wrapper: add comments and blank lines
In reply to Mauro Carvalho ChehabTo help seing the actual size of the script when it was added, I opted to strip out all comments from the original script.
Add them here:
tools/docs/sphinx-build-wrapper | 261 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 257 insertions(+), 4 deletion(-)
As the code from the script has 288 lines of code, it means that about half of the script are comments.
Also ensure pylint won't report any warnings.
No functional changes.

PATCH RESEND v3 11/15 tools/docs: sphinx-build-wrapper: add an argument for LaTeX interactive mode
In reply to Mauro Carvalho ChehabBy default, we use LaTeX batch mode to build docs. This way, when an error happens, the build fails. This is good for normal builds, but when debugging problems with pdf generation, the best is to use interactive mode.
We already support it via LATEXOPTS, but having a command line argument makes it easier:
Interactive mode:
./scripts/sphinx-build-wrapper pdfdocs --sphinxdirs peci -v -i ... Running 'xelatex --no-pdf -no-pdf -recorder ".../Documentation/output/peci/latex/peci.tex"' ...
Default batch mode:

PATCH RESEND v3 12/15 tools/docs,scripts: sphinx-*: prevent sphinx-build crashes
In reply to Mauro Carvalho ChehabOn a properly set system, LANG and LC_ALL is always defined. However, some distros like Debian, Gentoo and their variants start with those undefioned.
When Sphinx tries to set a locale with:
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
It raises an exception, making Sphinx fail. This is more likely to happen with test containers.
Add a logic to detect and workaround such issue by setting locale to C.

PATCH RESEND v3 13/15 tools/docs: sphinx-build-wrapper: allow building PDF files in parallel
In reply to Mauro Carvalho ChehabUse POSIX jobserver when available or -j<number> to run PDF builds in parallel, restoring pdf build performance. Yet, running it when debugging troubles is a bad idea, so, when calling directly via command line, except if "-j" is splicitly requested, it will serialize the build.
With such change, a PDF doc builds now takes around 5 minutes on a Ryzen 9 machine with 32 cpu threads:

This series does a major cleanup at docs
Makefileby moving the actual doc build logic to a helper script (scripts/sphinx-build-wrapper).Such script was written in a way that it can be called either directly or via a makefile. When running via makefile, it will use GNU jobserver to ensure that, when sphinx-build is called, the number of jobs will match at most what it is specified by the "-j" parameter.
So I've been playing with these a bit more, still trying to wrap my head around them. I do wish that we were somehow ending up with something simpler than the status quo, but perhaps the problem domain just isn't that simple.
Quoted 3 lines
The first 3 patches do a cleanup at
scripts/jobserver-execand moves the actual code to a library. Such library is used by both the jobserver-exec command line and by sphinx-build-wrappper.
These three seem OK, anyway, and could probably go in anytime.
Quoted 5 lines
The change also gets rid of
parallel-wrapper.sh, whose functions are now part of the wrapper code.I added two patches at the end adding an extra target: "mandocs". The patches came from a series I sent in separate with 2 patches.
As for the rest, a couple of notes from where I am so far:
- The separation of the comments into their own patch is ... a bit strange and makes the patches harder to review. I plan to spend some time looking at the end product, but still ...
- Acting on a hint from Akira, I note that "make O=elsewhere htmldocs" no longer works - the output goes into Documentation/output regardless. That, I think, needs to be fixed.
Thanks,
jon

No, it isn't. We can do some cleanups later on by removing some env vars, but still the sphinx-build logic we use is complex.

Sure. Yet, we need them to ensure that sphinx-build-wrapper can run jobs in parallel respecting make limits. If you prefer, you can merge those three to reduce the number of patches I'll be sending on the next version.

parallel-wrapper.sh, whose functions are now part of the wrapper code.I added two patches at the end adding an extra target: "mandocs". The patches came from a series I sent in separate with 2 patches.
As for the rest, a couple of notes from where I am so far:
- The separation of the comments into their own patch is ... a bit strange and makes the patches harder to review. I plan to spend some time looking at the end product, but still ...
Feel free to merge it after reviewing. The only reason I split it is because you complained about the number of lines that the new script have. With the split, it becomes clearer how much lines are the actual code, and how much are the comments.

- Acting on a hint from Akira, I note that "make O=elsewhere htmldocs" no longer works - the output goes into
Documentation/outputregardless. That, I think, needs to be fixed.
Sure thing. I'll run some tests here and send a new version.
Thanks,
